The Work-in-Progress (WiP) session at RTAS 2011 will be dedicated to new and on-going research in real-time systems, theory, and applications. Topics covering all areas of real-time and embedded systems, including hardware/software co-design and wireless sensor networks will be of interest.

The primary purpose of the WiP session is to provide researchers with an opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the real-time systems community at large. Authors of all accepted papers will be required to give a short oral presentation, followed by presenting their work at a poster session. Proceedings containing all the accepted papers will be distributed at the conference.
